Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. sepan, 191s'.

Application led September 16, 1916Sera1 No. 120,445.` Renewed July 24, 1918. SerialNo. 246611.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STEFAN K Rnrs, a sub'- ject of the Emperor of Austr1a-Hungary,

and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bakers Feels, of which the followling is a specification.

'Ihis invention relates to improvements in implements for bakers use and particularly that should moisture from the dough affect.

the wooden blade, causing it to bend and thus assume a curvature, the blade may be reversed so as to counteract the bending and be maintained in a substantially straight condition.

These and other objects, such as simplicity and economy in construction, are obtained by the novel design and combination of parts herafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of this disclosure and in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an implement made in accordance with the invention,

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through the blade portion, and

Fig. 3 is a partial side elevational view of the handle used in engagement therewith.

The invention is comprised mainly of a substantial rectangular plate 10, thicker toward the heel portion 11 than toward the edge 12, and provided with rearwardly extending projections 14 between which is an open slot 15 terminating substantially with the heel ortion 11, the end of the slot being covered y metallic plates 18 disposed upon opposite sides and set so as to be level or Hush with the surface of the peel blade, the plates being held in position by rivets 19.

Passing transversely through the .projections 14, is a fixed bar 20, the same being central of the projections near their ends,

andsecured rigidly therein, rivets 21, tending to prevent the wood from splitting.

The handle element is comprised of a wooden rod or bar 25 at the forward or operative end of which is attached a ferrule 26 held in position by the rivet 27; the ferrule extends outward toward the front and has a beveled surface 28, cut through the tubular ferrule, substantially to the center of its extreme front end, the flattened portion being adapted to engage with the plates 18, irrespective of whichever side of the plate be uppermost.

A transverse slot 30 is formed in the opposite side of the extending ferrule, the slot being engageable with the rod 20, whereby the handle is prevented from disengagement with the blade when in operation.

From the foregoing it will be understood that the handle may be applied with equal facility to either side of the blade, or re-l leased therefrom by merely raising the handle to such an extent, as will permit the slot 30 to be released from its engagement with the bar 20, whereupon it may be removed without diiiculty.

In operation, the several batches of dough from which biscuits, rolls or bread are to be baked, are placed in relative position on the surface of the peel blade, the handle inserted and the entire device with the dough entered into the oven, whereupon a sudden rapid withdrawal of the apparatus tends to release the dough which then falls upon the surface of the oven, allowing the peel to be removed and used in a similar mannerl with other batches of dough.

The handle may be readily attached into any other peel blade, thus allowing a large number of the blades to be used. Without occupying an undue amount of space.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to obtain by Letters Patent is The combination vof a peel plate having a.

bifurcated projection extending1 from one edge thereof forming a slot at t through the bifurcated ends of said projection and across the outer end of said slot, a pair of metallic plates secured to the peel plate and having their edges projecting across the inner end of the slot upon opposite sides of the plate, a handle, a metallic Y e rear end' of said plate, a bar extending transversely errule ysecured to said handle, one side forpreventingthe displacement thereof or thereofl atv its inner .end being .beveled and wearing of the materiali constituting said 0 the opposite side having a transverseslot plate. extended therethrough adapted to receive `Signed at New York, in the county of 5 the rod extending across the slot and the 'New York and State of New York, this 13th' beveled portion of the ferrule forming-a daygof September, 1916. nose adapted to engage the end of the peel plateandftoiit between said metallic plates, STEFAN KREPS.
